This is a very cute adaptation that younger readers will enjoy for its substance and illustrations and older readers will enjoy for its pop-culture origins. As a reader who doesn't have a strong emotional attachment to the original movie, I read this story with fresh eyes. The story felt a little disjointed which effects its overall pacing. I think it might leave some kids confused or disinterested. The illustrations were extremely adorable though and I think that older readers would enjoy seeing 80's movie picture book adaptations like this and be completely content with the stories as-is.
